WOODLAND HILLS, CA – Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced that rookie running back Blake Corum will see a significantly increased workload in Sunday’s season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. With several starters potentially resting ahead of the playoffs, McVay expressed his excitement about giving Corum an extended opportunity to showcase his abilities.

Corum, a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has seen limited action this season but has impressed in recent weeks with brief appearances early in games. McVay confirmed the team’s strategy of giving Corum carries to spell starter Kyren Williams, citing the benefits of keeping Williams fresh while developing Corum’s confidence and game experience.

In his limited playing time, Corum has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging over 43 yards per game in two games where he saw extended carries against the Saints and the Bills, including several impressive runs. He also credits his progress to working with Williams and the coaching staff, improving his pre-snap reads and overall football IQ.

Corum himself expressed enthusiasm for the increased opportunity, stating his readiness to seize the moment and demonstrate his full potential. While acknowledging the importance of preparation, he emphasized his excitement to contribute to a Rams victory. This increased playing time provides an ideal opportunity for the Rams to evaluate Corum’s readiness for a larger role next season.
